I've watched a lot of Alex Bellissimo videos over the years but that is the most intense AB video I've ever seen. There are very few fishermen on the Eastern seaboard of Australia who could land that fish alone. Unbelievable display of experience and skill.
Yes another video ❤.. hahaha the frustration bought back a lot of memories 😂 grate king but and a good gaff shot in the end.. you still have a cliff gaff 🤔. … just bought my first bait caster set up , learning skipping soft plastics.. got a lot to learn 😂..great to see your head keep em coming 💯
thanks mate really appreciate you watching a lot of anglers understand the agony of loosing a great fish happens to all of us just fortunate to pull it off haha had a Bantam 2000 bait caster about 35-40 years ago that was the last bait caster iI owned. I used one in NT back in 2015 with Mark Berg for about a week and thats it cheers mate
What an effort.ive found holding the fish up against the rock head up and gill gaff em when its like that. You made a great effort against the odds and won.you deserve it.
Hey Alex, just wondering where you bought those snap swivels for 4oz and 5oz snapper leads. The eye on the snapper leads are usually 6-8mm thick. I looked on aliexpress and various vendors in Australia but I can't find one that comfortably opens wide enough to accommodate such thickness on the eye of these sinkers. Can you please provide brand and size? Thanks for your help mate
@@felixfelicis5574 yes it does work spinning squid. Just securing a squid which will withstand multiple cast is an issue. Sea gars are robust and can handle 15-20 or more cast.
There regarded as the top fighting species in the world for sure. everything about them is awesome! Was a great experience mate cheers and thanks for watching
Kids your watching a extreme professional under pressure all the time understanding the tides and incomming swell. Dont try this at home. Supersession adrenaline O.D nearly. Tops!
hey mate your too kind☺ No doubt a really difficult set of circumstances for sure. Just done the best i could on then outing. And nearly did not pull it off hahah but what an experience it was! thaks heaps mate

Well done, mate! Not an easy task gaffing that king single-handedly with the constant powerful surges sweeping it from side to side....big respect!
thanks heaps Frank yes that side way surge from the big sets is a lot harder than a wave front on thats for sure. 😅

Old man and the sea vibes on this one.
yes was a kind of mini version of old man and the sea we all have awesome stories of that fish that go away or the one we landed cheers mate
Question if spinning garfish work. Would spinning squid work?
@@felixfelicis5574 yes it does work spinning squid. Just securing a squid which will withstand multiple cast is an issue. Sea gars are robust and can handle 15-20 or more cast.
I thought using braid on thr rocks is a nono ? Please advise ?
Thanks mate
Anyone who says the kingfish isn't the hardest fighting fish in the ocean is only too ashamed to say they haven't caught one before
There regarded as the top fighting species in the world for sure. everything about them is awesome! Was a great experience mate cheers and thanks for watching
Can I ask the length of gaff you are using?
New Zealand? If yes where u at?
Please check my description for info . All

Lesson no1 always wear a life jacket on the rocks with rock boots. No 2 Go with someone else, helps for safety and landing fish.
